Cloud upskilling: What’s really needed for success

About

As organizations plan for 2022, they must ensure their employees and partners are skilled in a cloud-centric world. Lots of ink is spilled on the essential need to do this, but how is it done successfully? There now is a greater understanding of how people learn – especially in workplace settings. “Challenge-centric learning” is emerging as an innovative alternative, where learners receive the hands-on experience configuring, scaling, and troubleshooting any real-world cloud situations that they need -- rather than lean-back presentations that have been proven to fail time and again.

Join this VB Live event to learn how organizations can apply a challenge-centric learning mindset across many technology stacks and scenarios to get more from your learning programs. And access learning in a timely manner while staying under budget.

Agenda

Skilling plans: How to create learning journeys with scored hands-on experiences to ensure your team is gaining relevant skills
Validation: See how learners can prove their skills mastery - not just their course completion - with scenario-based labs
Reporting: Learn how you to develop validated skills map for your team members to see where people excel and where growth opportunities exist
